How we will use your story

The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Foundation is grateful for all the stories it receives and aims to publish as many of them as we can. We do reserve the right, however, not to publish a story if we don't believe it fits with our editorial and brand guidelines. The stories we do use will be published on our website and promoted across our social media networks. We may also use stories in publications and promotional materials. By sharing your story with us here, you are giving us permission to do this.
